What is the message of this source?
Explain your answer:
Message directed to teachers?
Learning starts with a strong set of core values that will direct his development as a person (relationship, awareness, social interaction), as a learner developing critical interactive skills. All these must be viewed as linked. A well-developed student directs his own learning and will have confidence to contribute as a citizen.
How useful is this as evidence of MOE's direction for Social Studies?

MOE expects teachers to develop students with critical thinking skills, who can examine and inquire, then come up with conclusions independently. - would relate to the orange outer band.
Diagram provides a rough structure that schools will implement.
But how would we achieve this?
What those words in the bands mean: http://www.moe.gov.sg/media/press/files/2010/03/21st-century-competencies-annex-a-to-c.pdf
-------------------
what was I thinking: break down the question into sub-questions.
Where is the message from? Why (purpose) is the message created? Who is the message targeted at? PACC
Context: what do we know about Singapore (space) and 21st century (time), how does this influence our interpretation?
Pay attention to the details
Examine how the diagram is constructed. radial. circles - linking ideas
Tapping into understanding/prior knowledge
Cross referencing - to other texts,
Break the diagram down and build it up
What am I not getting? What am I missing? "the null curriculum" - sends impt info
-------------------
Reflection as it is central to inquiry
Dewey - double movement of reflection
Reflect on the work you've done each step of the way.
It's self monitoring, checking yourself, being aware of what you do not know
Reflection starts as an internal process but moves into a social process.
--------------------
What is inquiry?
"Houston, we have a problem" - inquiry starts with dis-equilibrium (Dewey), noticing there is a problem
"Productive Failure" - permit mistakes, teachable moments, allow a space for failure and teaching/learning from there
